Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Brown for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink, draining any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in cubed sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are tender.
Add diced zucchini and cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until tender but slightly crunchy.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.

Notes

For a leaner version, swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken.
Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or corn for added color and flavor.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add chili flakes, diced jalapeños, or a splash of hot sauce.
This dish pairs well with a simple green salad, crusty bread, or herbed rice.
